Custom org roles can include repository permissions [Public Preview]

[glider-bot]

Value Prop

Organization administrators can enhance their custom organization roles to include repository permissions, which are granted against all of the repositories in the organization. This helps administrators grant the right level of access to teams with cross-cutting responsibilities, like DevOps teams or security managers that are responsible for all of the repositories in the organization.

Expected Outcome

Administrators can give just the right people the right level of access to all their repositories, and reduce the "base role" of repository access for organization members. This overall reduction in privilege helps achieve least privilege goals.
